GUATEMALA CITY -- A Guatemalan prosecutor says two brothers have been detained in the murder of an American tourist last weekend.

Prosecutor Eliseo Quinonez tells The Associated Press that investigators are comparing material from two men arrested Thursday to fingerprints and other evidence found at the scene of the crime.
Retired Sutton resident Daniel Dryden was killed Saturday in a botched robbery by four machete-wielding assailants aboard his sailboat in a lake in northeastern Guatemala. His wife Nancy survived the attack.
Police used her testimony to compose a computer sketch of one of the assailants.
Quinonez says one of the detained brothers is a 90 percent match to that sketch.
